Cargo volumes at the Port of Los Angeles hit near-record levels, despite lingering tensions from the US / China trade war. The port moved a total of 9,337,632 TEUs in 2019, just shy of the port’s second-busiest year (2017) in its 113-year history and 1.28% off 2018’s record-setting volumes. The near-record volumes come despite a more than year-over-year 17% decline in total TEUs in December 2019, a 12% drop off in November, and 18% drop off in October.
